Our mission for Nurture the West is to bring light and offer safe spaces in our communities by curating programs that incorporate health and wellness, immediate resources, creative art therapies, and counseling. With this being a traveling initiative, we are able to intentionally cater to Westend districts for immediate community needs. Our programming is designed for Westend residents by Westend residents.

The team at Nurture The West is so excited for our upcoming 2023 programming! We wanted to take this time to further educate our community and provide a greater understanding of what we do and why. Starting in February, we are allowing free access for Westend residents to all our future events, classes, and workshops. This is to ensure programming and resources are truly accesible for the Westend community. As mentioned in our infographic above, we are NOT excluding anyone from participating or experiencing all that NTW has to offer, we actually encourage the expansion of wellness through NTW in the greater Louisville area; we just want to be adamant about primarily uplifting and nurturing Westend communities and it’s residents.
We understand that within the wellness industry (and not solely in Louisville) many spaces have intentionally and unintentionally excluded black bodies, indigenous practices, and pushed for wellness that is benefited and capitalized for only a select group of people. We at NTW want to make sure we are not projecting a similar experience, but truly allowing access to communities who haven’t had the same opportunities. We want our allies to understand that performative allyship and corporation goes beyond attendance, and liking post, but supporting our communities financially, supporting and uplifting black yogis + practitioners and supporting the advancement of wellness within Westend communities without complete infiltration or gentrification 🫶🏾

On the fifth day of Kwanzaa we light the candle representing the principle Nia, or purpose. It encourages us to look within to not only set personal goals, but also to choose goals that benefit our community. We believe that financial strength is critical to building a successful future for the Black community. #KAYKissCountdown #kwanzaa #nurturethewest #nialong
Habari Gani ✨ The second principle is Kujichagulia (Self-Determination). This too expresses itself as both commitment and practice. It demands that we as an African people define, defend and develop ourselves instead of allowing or encouraging others to do this..TODAY we light the red candle next to the black candle. #ReasonForBooking #NURTURETHEWEST #CODSquadUp #blackwellness #louisvilleky #kwanzaa
